What are you doing? "Long Kui appeared, suppressing the crowd as he stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "A branch family member challenged Long Seven."
"Challenge?" Long Kui glanced at Dragonquarry and the rest, "You challenged Long Seven?"
Dragonquarry gritted his teeth and wanted to retort, but the branch family elder rushed out from the bottom of the lake and panted, "Elder Long Kui, this Long Seven is too arrogant and has a vile personality. He attacked a family member and bullied his peers. He even ignored me, an elder, and spoke arrogantly. Please report this to the family head and the elders."
Long Kui frowned and looked at Lu Yin, "Long Seven, what's going on?"
Lu Yin smiled, "A bunch of trash looking for trouble."
The branch family elder was furious, "Elder Long Kui, did you hear that? This Long Seven is so arrogant and spouting such malicious words. He's a disgrace to the White Dragon Tribe."
Long Kui stared at Lu Yin; how had this brat's attitude changed so quickly?
Lu Yin looked up and met Long Kui's gaze, "These people want me to become a disciple? They're courting death. They're lucky that I didn't destroy them."
Long Kui understood; to Long Seven, becoming a disciple of a Progenitor was a huge matter, and anyone who got in his way was an enemy. It was no wonder why he was so ruthless and did not even let the branch family elder off. "Long Seven, return to Crouching Dragon Lake first. I'll report this to the family head."
Lu Yin casually tossed the spear aside and turned to leave.
The branch family elder was so angry that his teeth bled when the spear fell into the lake. That was his weapon, and he had spent many years accumulating materials to craft it. Even the weapons of powerhouses on the same level could not destroy it, but it had been tossed aside. He wanted to pick it up, but he could not afford to lose face.
As for asking Long Seven to pick it up, he was not stupid enough to ask. It was obvious that Long Seven did not care about him.
He could not defeat Long Seven, and he could not suppress him with his status. The branch family elder had never suffered such grievances on Dragonpeak.
Long Kui looked at the branch family elder and said in a low voice, "This is Crouching Dragon Lake. Why are you here? You need to give the family head and the elders an explanation."
The branch elder gritted his teeth and said, "We're here to congratulate Long Qi. The disciples of the clan also want to see what kind of person Long Qi is."
Long Kui sneered, "Is that so? This is Dragon Mountain. Nothing that happens here can escape the eyes of the Great Elder. Say whatever you want. When the time comes, the Great Elder will be the judge."
That's right, the Great Elder. Great Elder Ni Huang did not appear at all. He had forgotten about the Great Elder's abilities. When he recalled what he had just done, he heaved a sigh of relief after a long while. He did not do anything overboard, nor did he say anything. From the beginning to the end, it was that bastard Long Qi who took the initiative to attack and even spoke ill of him.
At this moment, the branch elders realized something. They were supposed to be here to malign and slander Long Seven. How did they end up being the victims?
Did Long Seven need to be slandered?
His true nature had been exposed, and there was no need to slander him. This was the kind of person he was, a bastard.
Long Zhang woke up, but no one cared about him. Many of the branch family disciples silently returned, as Lu Yin's display of strength had truly shocked them. Even though his cultivation was insufficient, his insight was not bad, and they all shared the same thoughts as Dragonquarry. This Long Seven might have reached the level of Junior Ancestor Long Tian. Once he became a disciple of a Patriarch, his status would be completely different.
The Wulong branch's young master grimaced in pain. He glanced at Crouching Dragon Lake and quickly left in fear.
When he returned to the island, Lu Yin continued fishing leisurely as if nothing had happened.
Xiaoqian and the other maids also saw the Crouching Dragon Lake.
After what had happened outside the lake, the group of maids became much more afraid of Lu Yin. Xiaoqian had a complicated expression as she thought back to the first time she had met Long Seven. He had been so useless and had been trapped by the princess' White Dragon Surveying Mirror. Now, he had actually reached such heights. If the princess knew about this, she would be very happy!
No matter what, he was the son-in-law, and the princess had said that no one was allowed to bully him. Now, he could bully others.
Long Kui had wanted to report what had happened at Crouching Dragon Lake to Long Ke, but he was stopped halfway. He turned around and returned to Crouching Dragon Lake, where he saw Lu Yin. "Long Seven, the Great Elder wants to see you."
Xiaoqian and the rest were stunned. The Great Elder?
Lu Yin stood up. He knew that the Great Elder was Ni Huang, a legendary figure whose seniority far surpassed Qingchen's. On the way here, Qingchen had told Lu Yin that the White Dragon Clan's Elder Ni Huang was on the same level as the Myriad Daos Clan's Wan Zhiyi. If Wan Zhiyi was infinitely close to the Progenitor realm, then Ni Huang was infinitely close to Wan Zhiyi.
There were people like her everywhere on the Four Continents.
Ni Huang was located at the bottom of Dragon Mountain, and Lu Yin did not know how deep she was. When Long Kui left, Lu Yin looked around.
This was the bottom of Dragon Mountain, and there was a faint blue light all around. Strange glowing plants floated in the air, and it was very beautiful.
The sound of water dripping could be heard in the distance, and there was a clear spring flowing beneath his feet. Tiny stars rotated within it.
Lu Yin stared at the stars in the spring. He had never seen such a small star before. It was like an ant's planet, and it was only the size of his palm. He could crush it with a single palm strike.
"To ants, this is a world that they will never be able to walk out of, but to people like us, it can be easily destroyed. This is height," an ancient voice said. There was no one in sight, only the voice.
Lu Yin's expression was solemn, and he slowly bowed. "Junior Long Seven greets Great Elder Ni Huang."
"Long Seven, your height has long surpassed many people. From now on, there is no need to care about ordinary ants. To you, becoming a Progenitor is your greatest goal."
Lu Yin answered, "Yes, Great Elder."
"The Governor of the Humble School, Senior Mu Xie, is a very refined person. Although he controls the killing of the Humble School, he does not like people who cause trouble. I will suppress today's matter for you, but you must not be reckless in the future. The internal strife within the clan has nothing to do with you. As long as you acknowledge the Governor as your master, I will arrange a marriage for you, and you will step into the clouds."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Marriage?
But I am the son-in-law of the main bloodline, and I am already married to Long Xi. "
"I've already said that there is no need to care about those things. Be it the main bloodline or the subsidiary bloodlines, it has nothing to do with you. Your name is only a formality, and you are no longer the son-in-law of the main bloodline. You are the successor of the White Dragon Clan, and your status is equal to Long Tian's. There are very few who are qualified to marry you. Do you have anyone in mind?"
Lu Yin did not know how to answer, as he had not expected such a thing to happen. This Great Elder Ni Huang was basically skipping over the main bloodline. Was the main bloodline so insignificant?
That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that the main bloodline was once a subsidiary bloodline?
"No one in mind?
How about Xia Taili? "
Lu Yin was shocked. "Great Elder, this … this isn't good."
"I've already discussed this with Xia Xing of the Shenwu Plane. This decision was made by me and Xia Xing, as well as the Dragon Ancestor and Xia Ancestor's wishes. You don't have to think too much about it. Go back. Remember, do not act rashly. Your apprenticeship to a Progenitor is the most important thing right now, so prepare well. No one will disturb you in the following period of time, and your name will still be engraved in the main bloodline.
After speaking, Lu Yin's vision cracked open, and his body was sucked in.
When he reappeared, he was already in the outside world, and Long Kui was not far away.
Lu Yin's expression was strange, and he felt helpless and speechless. Why were there marriage alliances everywhere?
Do I look that much like a marriage alliance?
His marriage alliance with Xia Taili was equivalent to the White Dragon Clan's marriage alliance with the Shenwu Plane. There was also the Governor of the Humble Family and three Progenitors. This was the current situation in the Peak Realm. The Frigid Immortal Sect was too domineering, and this marriage alliance had been forced by them.
However, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was the most unlucky one.
Xia Taili was not to be trifled with, and he did not want her even if he was beaten to death.
Long Kui did not say anything to Lu Yin, and he simply sent him back to Crouching Dragon Lake before leaving. Before he left, he said, "Celestial Master Qiuling has come to Dragon Mountain to observe the ceremony."
Celestial Master was a title unique to Origin Heavenly Masters, and Celestial Master Qiuling was an Origin Heavenly Master.
An Origin Heavenly Master had come, and it was obvious that she had been invited by the White Dragon Clan to become Lu Yin's apprentice.
The White Dragon Clan wanted to soar and show off to both an Origin Heavenly Master and a Progenitor at the same time.
"Young Master, a guest arrived right after you left," Xiaoqian said respectfully to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Guests can come here?"
Elder Ni Huang had just said that no one would disturb him, so wasn't this a slap to his face?
Suddenly, Lu Yin's expression changed as he saw someone familiar within his domain. It was Xia Taili. It was actually her!
Xia Taili sensed Lu Yin's return at the same time, and her originally calm expression immediately changed. She shouted angrily, "Long Seven, you despicable person! How dare you have designs on me!" She rushed out and swept her Divine Martial Shield at Lu Yin, flustered and exasperated.
Lu Yin was speechless. He raised a hand and gathered his golden battle force to meet the Divine Martial Force.
With a boom, the Divine Martial Force was suppressed. Xia Taili raised a hand and said, "Lock!" A lock appeared around Lu Yin, trapping him. This was one of the Divine Martial Force's secret techniques, and it was very strange.
Xia Taili brandished her Divine Martial Force again and slammed it towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin moved his hand and shattered the lock. He raised another hand and unleashed an Emptiness Palm.
Boom!
Shockwaves swept out in all directions, and Xiaoqian and the rest were forced to retreat. Waves rose from Crouching Dragon Lake and surged into the distance. Xia Taili's Divine Martial Force was pierced through by Lu Yin's Emptiness Palm, and the wind from the palm brushed past her ears and into the void.
Xia Taili paused and looked at Lu Yin in shock. The difference was too great, especially when Lu Yin had shattered the lock faster than Bai Shaohong. How could this be?
Lu Yin said helplessly, "It has nothing to do with me. I didn't know that this would happen."
Xia Taili reacted and gritted her teeth, "You didn't know?"
"No," Lu Yin was certain.
Xia Taili obviously didn't believe him, "You're lying! You've had your eyes on me for a long time. Long Xi went missing, didn't you?
You're both Princesses of Balance. Long Seven, you're really ambitious. "
Lu Yin covered his head, "I said I didn't know, so I didn't know."
"How do you know now?"
"I just found out."
"Then go and refuse."
"I can't refuse."
"You're trying to get me, Long Seven. You're despicable, shameless, shameless, perverted."
Lu Yin was unhappy, "Your brother's the pervert."
Xia Taili was furious and panted heavily. Her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
